Description
This where the 2 biggest of all the reindeers i saw during my time at Svalbard.  One of the diffrences with all other reindeers exept that they live so far north is that they are where short leged, the Svalbard reindeer is also the smallest of all sub species.  Dont know why they are sub species, i think all diffrent subspecies should be counted as a own species within the family Reindeers bekos its so big diffrences betwen them, but i am not a scientist (yet atleast hehe) :) .  By the way all peopel that love nature and animals!  Go and SIGN THIS: www.savestevesplace.com/  Or atleast take a look at it please.
